Who came away with the most momentum from last night's RAW? (November 20th)
The Survivor Series fallout show was hit or miss. There were a few sparks, but nothing really there to ignite the gasoline. From a good Survivor Series coming after a red-hot build, last night's show felt very flat.
But who gained the most momentum and who lost face? After the final pitstop at Survivor Series, the turn will now be made onto the road to WrestleMania. Who accelerated on hitting the pavement and who crashed early? What, if anything, can we glean about the plans for next year's spectacle from last night?
Lost momentum: Braun Strowman
Say it ain't so! Why did it have to be this way? Things looked so great at the start of the show, too.
After what threatened to be another insufferable Authority segment (what year is this, anyway?), Braun Strowman came out to a huge pop, confronting Triple H and forcing Stephanie to retreat between the ropes out of fear. To "punish" him and Jason Jordan, a match was set up.
Unfortunately, Kane ruined it with a chair assault (again, what year is this?). Braun's selling was excellent, but there's no big momentum to be gained from this feud. After his starring performance last night, it didn't help.
This is likely only a temporary setback as Kane will soon be "put to pasture," but Braun fending him off would have only gotten him that much more over.
